October’s Beauty & Bath Products

Yippie! Not much reading required here. Just a rundown on the products I’ve enjoyed thoroughly:
1) Mad City Sue Shea Aloe to Great Hair Conditioner Custom Scented

I got a sample of this in mango lassi and oh my, it smelt divine as usual and my hair felt soft as silk. Especially after the color treatment, this was such a treat! Sue has a long huge list of scents and lush dupes and they smell OH SO GOOD.. trust me, I’ve tried so almost a dozen of her scents in different products and they smell fab!

2) MAC Viva Glam Gaga lipglass
I’m late to get this but I love the pinkish blue shade so much…

3) Canmake Color Stick
This salmon colored concealor stick is great for a nude lip or simply acting as a lip base.

PERFORMANCE:
  1. love the colors – bright and vibrant
  2. a light application goes a long way
  3. gorgeous when paired with lipgloss
  4. smells good – a little like the older  YSL lipsticks
  5. affordable
  6. packaging rocks – proud to have this lipstick in my makeup pouch :)
  7. doesn’t dry lips out
  8. Can’t fault this lippy too much except for the fact that the lighter shade ( pink gossip ) fades after a few hours of wear and even shorter if you eat. These colors leaves a strong stain after it wears off.
Overall, I kinda love Rimmels Color show off lipstick. For the price, it is pretty excellent. Smooth and not overly dry with a gorgeous color selection to choose from. I approve!
I wish all of Rimmel products were as good as their lipsticks. A few more reviews of RImmel’s products coming up!
Have u tried any of Rimmel product and loved it? Let me know please!

Here’s some random brand called SUKI I bought from SASA…
It’s really affordable and I like both eyebrow colors. Very natural looking.

September Product Hits & Misses

So now that October is here, I can safely give the low down on products that I loved & products that I could have easily done without in the month of September 2010.

MISSES

1) Coastal Scents Dual Eyeshadow Pencil
hmm.. NYX eyeshadow pencils fare much better. These look great packaging wise and are even larger than NYX pencils but the quality is nothing to rave about. I prefer the black and browns. The lighter colors are a miss because it doesn’t show up on my lids at all ! It gets scratchy too!

2) LUSH Icy Blue Soap
They should discontinue this crappy soap. No lather, sharp yucky smell. it’s suppose to have a peppermint smell but I just pick up a detergent like scent... eww .. eww…eww…I dumped this!

3) Loreal Instant Impact Felt Liner
I deserve owning this miserable felt liner as it was a rushed purchase. I was rushing home to feed my boy and I just had to replace my L'Oreal super liner ( which dried up after intense usage for a few months. I luv the liner but the short life span sucks ).
This felt liner is runny and melts in heat and sweat !

HITS
1) Coastal Scents Metal Mania Palette
I was scared it might contain the kind of metallics that would make me look like a glitter ball but I was wrong. I love the soft shimmer of the 88 colors. I only have a few complaints with regards to color selection but overall, a great buy, smooth and easy application. Totally worth the money!IMG_7988
